Dawn GerardSmith

Pastor Dawn GerardSmith is unashamedly completely and totally in love with Jesus! She writes, preaches, teaches, motivates, counsels, and trains for the center of that love. She has been preaching around the globe for over 20 years. Her heart will always be anchored to her years serving in missionary work in Nairobi, Kenya; these years eternally changed her fire.

But by far, the work that changes her life the most is her call to host an International Daily Devotion for, The Daily Hope. This work has given her the honor to connect with believers all over the world for the last 17 years. Every day as they engage in deep prayer, life-changing Word, and warm fellowship, Pastor Dawn is left speechless and the impact of the strong Hand of God on the viewers and listeners every single day! The Hope Church in Los Angeles has honored and humbled her by loving on her as their Pastor since 2012.

But with all this world impact, nothing brings her joy and fulfillment like her greatest assignment as mom to Antonio, Angelo, Christian, and London. And she deeply loves being a Grandmother (Gigi) to Harmony, Angelo, and King. And the icy on her cake is the strong love of her mom and dad, siblings, and incredible circle of extended family and friends.
